Although opendir(3) is standard ours is implemented in libc; our
native API appears to be getdents(2) which might require modifications
(if it is considered that it must be extended, that is, rather than
using a separate API alltogether to list subfiles).

I also agree that f prefix is more consistent with existing functions
than fd prefix.
